For Indianapolis to reach its potential as a city, we need to provide access to high-quality schools for every child. Improved educational outcomes will result in a better trained workforce, help recruit and retain residents, and strengthen our neighborhoods.

Traditional public schools such as School 79 in Indianapolis Public Schools, charter schools like Christel House Academy and private schools like The Oaks Academy are proof that any student can excel when given the opportunity. The success of each of these schools demonstrates that school quality matters more than school type.
